My R34 Gt-T Engine Warning Or Malfunction Indicator Light Is On

[v8 eater]

Hi guys,

I just bought this r34 and is quiet smooth to drive and all but yesterday after about 20 minutes driving this light came on and wont go away. its there every time i start the car but i must say the car still drives like new..

not sure what the problem is or how to approach it.. i was going to re-do the oils/filters etc to see if that helps

will i need to take it down to nissan for a checkup? if so how much is it going to cost?

thanks

Need to plug it into consult to see what the code is.

34's are common for the coilpacks to throw a fault code

i hope its it - i dont want to fork out big money for such a new car

but the guy i bought it from told me it has recently had split fire coil packs as the stock ones go out quickly

thanks man,

will get consult cable on friday and check asap.. will too much engine oil or black engine oil prompt such indicator lights on dash?

thanks

^ No, but there is a IQ sensor near the driver in the cabin that could prompt that light

cost $200 for a genuine sensor (maybe $100ish for an aftermarket one): http://www.kudosmotorsports.com/catalog/nissan-lambda-oxygen-sensor-genuine-nissan-skyline-r34-25gt-25gt4-25gtt-stagea-wgc34-rsv-stagea-wgnc34-rsfour-series-p-187.html

how hard to replace? fairly easy as long as you have a oxygen sensor socket like (or can borrow one): http://www.kudosmotorsports.com/catalog/lisle-socket-oxygen-sensor-lisle-22mm-p-640.html
